Bluebird & Peonies by Morris Canvas Print

Bluebird & Peonies by Morris Canvas Print'Too safe,' said nobody standing in front of deep coral peonies on a near black ground. This is a William Morris inspired botanical with a small bluebird at the centre, painted in the tight, patterned style of the Arts and Crafts era. Put it up and the room gets quieter and richer at the same time. The dark background pulls a wall together; the coral and gold pick up lamplight in the evening. It becomes the thing people look at. It works above a bed,

Somewhere between Matisse and loose maximalist illustration

Up it goes and the room feels a little warmer

Sits behind premium acrylic glazing for a clean

and the two black cats give the whole thing a bit of mischief

Don't overcrowd it — a single quiet companion is the most this print wants

or on a quiet stretch of wall in the study where you actually want to spend time

or the calmer end of a living room

Also at home in a creative office or a hallway where you want something to read on the way past

and the cool blues in the water and mountains keep everything settled

Hang it and the room turns chattier

soft wool and one good ceramic

busy rooms get a bit of structure
